About

Specialist authority, not corporate hierarchy.

Organised around the disciplines our clients are accountable for.

Culture

Small rooms

Senior people do the work. Nothing is delegated to a team the client has not met.

Plain language

If a position cannot be explained to a minister in two pages, it is not finished.

Uncomfortable advice

We are appointed to say the difficult thing early, while it is still cheap.

History

Built on senior engineering experience.

CMx was established by senior engineering and infrastructure specialists who had spent their careers on mission-critical programmes, and who saw the same decisions being taken without the evidence to support them. The practice is organised to advise across the whole decision, from strategy and investment through delivery, commissioning and operational assurance.
